Easy gluten free scone

Prep Time: 10 mins | 🕒 Bake Time: 15–18 mins | 🍽 Serves: 8

✅ Ingredients:

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum, if possible)

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

• 2/3 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• (Optional: 1/2 cup add-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or shredded cheese)

🥣 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together:

   • GF flour

   • Sugar

   • Baking powder

   • Salt

3. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mix resembles coarse crumbs.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk:

   • Egg

   • Milk

   • Vanilla

5. Add the wet mix to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.

   • If using add-ins, fold them in now.

6. Shape the dough into a circle (about 1 inch thick) on a floured surface (use GF flour). Cut into 8 wedges.

7. Transfer to baking sheet. Optional: Brush tops with a little milk for a golden finish.

8. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

💡 Tips:

• If your flour doesn’t contain xanthan gum, add 1 tsp.

• Use cold ingredients to get flakier scones.

• For sweeter scones, sprinkle sugar on top before baking.
